Objective Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is characterized by increased Type I interferon (IFN‐I) and autoantibody production. This study aimed to identify drugs that can inhibit both IFN‐I and autoantibody production. Methods We identified an inhibitor of IFN‐I production from a chemical library.

Pathology of C3 Glomerulonephritis
사구체에 면역글로불린은 음성이면서 C3 만 침착되는 경우, 다른 원인이 없는 경우 C3GN을 의심하여야 한다. 광학현미경으로는 세포의 증식이 있는 경우와 없는 경우가 있지만, 전자현미경으로는 EDD가 내피세포 밑으로 혹은 메산지움 등에 침착함을 확인하여야 한다. 대체보체경로의 조절이상이 원인임으로 혈청 C3 치를 비롯하여 CFH, CFI, CFB 등을 측정하여야 하며, C3 nephritic factor, anti-factor H 자가항체 등을 조사하는 것이 필요하다. 보체 조절이상을 일으키는 유전자 돌연변이를 조사해 보아야 한다. 예후는 안정적이지만, 치료는 대증적이다.

Nonimmunoglobulin C3 activating factor in membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis
Nonimmunoglobulin C3 activating factor in membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis. Material isolated by cryoprecipitation from the serum of a patient with membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis exhibited alternative complement pathway C3-splitting activity associated with a nonimmunoglobulin γ-migrating protein. The cryoprecipitate required factor B

Abstract Background and Purpose Overactivation of the alternative pathway (AP) underlies several diseases. Iptacopan is an oral, first‐in‐class, highly potent specific inhibitor of factor B, a key AP protease. Experimental Approach The analysis included data from two phase 1 randomised, volunteer‐blinded, placebo‐controlled studies: Study 1, a single ...

Pediatric Non‐Lupus Full House Nephropathy: Case Report and Review of Literature
ABSTRACT Lupus nephritis is a severe manifestation of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) typically characterized by glomerular “full‐house” immunofluorescence. However, non‐lupus nephropathies may occasionally exhibit similar patterns, creating diagnostic uncertainty.

Autoimmune disorder patients are vulnerable to cytomegalovirus (CMV) infections, which can present with symptoms that mimic flare‐ups of the underlying disease. We present two cases: a 44‐year‐old woman with systemic lupus erythematosus and a 55‐year‐old man with sarcoidosis, both of whom developed unusual manifestations linked to CMV infection ...

C3-Dominant Infection Related Crescentic Glomerulonephritis.
Infection related glomerulonephritis and more specifically streptococcal glomerulonephritis is a rare disease in adults, and so is C3 glomerulonephritis. It has been recognized that a clinical and morphological overlap between these two entities exists. We present a case of a 59-year-old man with previous treated HIV infection with virological response,
